Respecting your Guardians 

Your guardians operate like your friends. So, remember to be aware of this. Although they have chosen to work with you, they decide how much help is given. They can stand close or watch from afar.

In my life, I have tried to treat them with great respect. Not all people do. It is unwise to curse and get angry with them as they always try to help us, even if we can’t see it. Some people become exceedingly nasty to them. I have heard the way they speak about their own guardians. They give them ultimatums and blame them for not giving them this or that. Humans can get very mean when Spirit does not come through as they demand. Humans are by nature power freaks and demanding.

I can’t think of a more tedious job than trying to be someone’s guide.

When we ask for guidance, it comes. The only time it does not is when they stand back. The usual reasons are that we have to learn from the experience, or they are standing back because we are being uncooperative. Most of us are hard to reach, even on a good day and especially when it comes to our personal issues. I have witnessed some of the most enlightened people being as stubborn as a mule.

Remember, if Spirit stands back, we are always the reason. If we decide to throw a temper tantrum they will step away.

If we decide to do it our own way they literally stand back, thereby allowing us to exercise our free will. On a spiritual level, if we decide to give up doing the spiritual work, the guides who were sent in order to assist us will move on. I know of people who have lost these guides. From a guide’s point of view, there is little point in staying when their skills can be used with a more cooperative student.

Guides are a gift. They are not your servants or whipping boys. We need to understand that love and respect go a long way. Your personal life guardian will stay with you for this life. However, they can choose how much help they try to give and like a good friendship, it can be destroyed by selfish actions.

Never blame your guides. You have manifested your spiritual world. I have seen many frustrated guides shaking their heads in disbelief. When I see them, they are there, but they seem to stand at a distance waiting. These are the life guides. Usually, the specialized spiritual helpers are long gone.

Spirit is always there wanting to help. If you feel you could have inadvertently caused your guides to step away, you can ask for them to come back. It will be up to you to mend the connection.

Negative Attachments

 

Your Guides

Everyone has spiritual guidance with them. However, not everyone is aware of the help at hand, even though Spirit is ever present. Like sentinels, they wait for us to be ready to receive their guidance. As well, you have ancestors with you on earth, nearby to share your daily life. Often, if we are open, they can send us thoughts and ideas. Relatives and friends on the other side are always trying to assist from above. Due to our family connections, they can easily relay information to us. Unfortunately, though, most of the time their efforts go unnoticed.

I know some spirits try to find good partners for their loved ones. I had occasion to give a widower a message from his late wife. She wanted him to know she was bringing a new person into his life. At the time that I spoke to him, he was adamant it was rubbish, but he did tell me that he remembered a strange dream. In the dream, his wife told him she wanted him to be in a relationship again, as she did not want him to be lonely. She gave him her blessing. Within a couple of years, the lady had arrived, and he was no longer alone. Relatives can do much from the other side.

They can even send us gifts. When my mum died the few jewels she owned were split up. I had always loved her ruby ring. On my mother’s death, it was given to my sister. A decade later my mum “sent” me a ruby ring. On my fiftieth birthday, my family gave me a lovely ruby ring. The spiritual world is like that; they see what is in your heart and will try to give it to you. The dimensions make no difference.

Spirit finds ways to reach us. They might whisper in an open ear, and plant the thought. Perhaps I was going to be given something else on my fiftieth birthday, but by Spirit sending the thought a new gift idea was arranged. I am sure there have been times you have wanted to have something, and then suddenly you are given it. It is like someone was reading your deepest thoughts. I thank Spirit when this happens because I understand they are hearing my wishes and prayers.

I believe it is important to appreciate the gifts from Spirit. Orchestrating it from their side can be very hard as they have to sow the seed and then wait for a human to physically do the work.

Getting people to meet can be one of the most challenging ventures for our guides. Free will can mess it up big time. Spirit may have it all organized, and then one of the parties decides not to go to the arranged meeting place. I wonder if this didn’t happen in my life. I knew my husband for years before we came together. When I went here or there, he would be at a work function or dance, so we were being placed in the same space waiting for the chance to start our life. Both of us were in relationships with other people. I can imagine Spirit’s frustration. Then my partner went off to “find” himself, and as soon as he was gone in popped my husband. The rest is history as they say.

We can ask for spiritual help for ourselves and others. We all basically know this truth. I have found faith strengthens the outcomes because it keeps you listening, even when nothing has manifested. It teaches us to be patient and to understand that many other things can come into play.

It is very important to realize that we only see part of the picture. Spirit can see all. Just because we can’t understand why things are happening in an expected way does not mean it is wrong, for often there are bigger outcomes that we are not aware of.

These days I accept their wisdom, and I have discovered that I no longer need clarity or the answer. If it is not forthcoming, I continue to trust that my guides are privy to more information and that there is a greater plan. We need to have faith that all is taken care of in divine time.

 

Lighting the paths

Knowing we have these path choices is empowering, especially when we can still retain our free will. However, having choices can complicate life. When we are sure of which path to follow, we have direction and purpose. Then we can steam ahead and be confident that we are heading in the direction we want to go.

The problem arises when we can’t decide which way to go. We have all reached the crossroads, trying to work out the right road to take. It is a common human condition. At these times, you can feel confused and be fearful of making a mistake knowing that going a particular way can change your life forever. We struggle with the lack of direction, and as a consequence we can feel stuck. Often what we need to do is to wait and soon the answer presents, and before we know it we are off on our way.

Still, if you receive no sense of direction, there is no need to despair for there is a spiritual solution you may be able to use. One day I just woke up knowing the solution to this dilemma. I was surprised because it was so simple and clear. To begin with you have to recognize that we are made of light. Each one of us is a soul existing in a human body. Now our soul knows what we have planned for this life, it’s our human that gets lost. I discovered the answer lies in connecting into our soul, our light body and the answer is to use the light to make the connection.

In my vision, I was shown how we can light our own path and the path of others. It is easy. To begin with, visualize your best path for this place and time. Next, you light the path. You can send light to the path or as I did, visualize candles along the sides of the path. In my case, I also visualized light being laid down on the actual path. As I could not see the end of the path, I lit it as far as I could. When I looked down the path it was bright and full of light. The light was along both sides and stretched out ahead.

Now my path was full of light, all I had to do was tell my soul body to follow the light. Our souls always work toward the Light, so I knew in time my soul would follow the lighted path, and eventually my human would know where to go. I did not worry about where or when I would walk it. I trusted that as long as I followed the Light it would give me my best outcome.

Lighting my own path had another outcome. I stopped stressing. I knew the light would assist me in being guided to my own truth. As I lit the path, I consciously connected to the light. In doing so, I was joined energetically to the light. By giving over to Spirit and surrendering, I knew I would be protected and helped.

After exploring this technique with my own path, I began to light the path of others. Of course, it was done with love and the person’s choice to receive it or not. Don’t light a path you want for them, rather light the path chosen for their greatest good. Lighting another’s path in this way is a loving and generous act. I rarely tell others the spiritual work I send. I do it with much love and always with respect for the choices they ultimately make. Remember, we are here to help and support one another; therefore, using the light is one powerful way to do this.

Before we were born, we all knew the paths we wished to take, the roads of the greatest purpose and growth. Once here it gets confusing, and at times we don’t know which way to go. Fear and doubt overtake our inner guidance, and our spiritual antennae can wobble and feel unreliable. On earth, you can’t always see the bigger picture.

By lighting the paths, we can use the light to guide us back onto our path. Just be patient and keep lighting those paths and by connecting into your soul you will find your way.

 

Lost in the paths

Everyone has met those poor souls “lost in” the paths. When I refer to it as “lost in” instead of “lost on” the path, I do literally mean “in.” When we are lost on the path, there is always a chance that we can find a way out because we are moving ahead. However, “lost in” means we can’t find our way out, even with help. Whenever I see these lost souls, I see them as wandering the paths, unable to find their way out of the maze. Getting lost like this signifies serious emotional and psychological problems. Nevertheless, once lost, even the helpful advice of others can’t assist them in making it through the maze.

Recently, I attended a very sad funeral of a young father who had become addicted to alcohol and died as a result. There were about three hundred people at the funeral and during his short life not one of these people had been able to help him find his way out of his maze. 

During these times, Spirit will also send help, and even then many people can’t find their way onto one of their chosen paths. They spend their last years circling the space and see no way out. Eventually, they spiral out of human life and cross over to the other side. Of course, once healing is given the rehabilitation work commences, and their soul can access the help it requires.

Many people suicide when lost in the paths. It is as if there is no road for them to travel on, so they go “home” to find their peace. Some choose to suicide slowly by living self-destructive lifestyles and ending their lives sooner than necessary. I find it so sad to witness. For them, there is nowhere to go, but home to their God.

Some of us have been there, lost in the paths. However, we made our way back onto some path and could move ahead. Our “missing” time was temporary, and like a blimp in universal time. For others, the outcome was dire.

Never judge others lost in the wilderness, for they are still of the Light and will return to be as one again. It is an unspoken hazard of living in our dimension. Perhaps with this knowledge you can simply help a lost person understand what is happening to them and guide them onto a path, any path, to avert the inevitable.

Being on our designated path or paths is better than wandering the maze. Send light and guidance to those lost souls who find themselves in this unfortunate predicament. If you find yourself there, recognize it and make the necessary changes. Help is always available. You just have to be willing to receive it. Remember, all is possible in the world of Spirit.

 Understanding the Spiritual Crisis 

A spiritual crisis can occur when there is dysfunction between the human side and the soul. It commonly takes the form of some kind of breakdown and mainly manifests around the time a big decision is about to be made. Our souls decide their purpose in this human life before they come into the earth plane. Some special ones have come to do some extraordinary work. However, once hitting the earth dimension they can forget why they are here and what they agreed to do while on earth. Sometimes, there comes a time when we are supposed to be fulfilling our soul’s destiny, except that our human has forgotten. It is then the spiritual crisis can arise. 

Spiritual crisis refers to a situation in which we are resisting our true learning or purpose. If we are supposed to be working from a soul perspective and keep living only in the human world, a crisis will emerge. Once on earth we all have free will. Still, souls can become confused and distracted and all manner of things can go wrong when we forget our true purpose. Functioning from a soul level can make our life more difficult. It is hard to be different, and it is understandable to want to be like everyone else, especially when young. We all want to belong. Added to this, operating through our human side has many benefits. 

Most importantly, we don’t stick out like a sore thumb. By dumbing down our spiritual side, we may make it into the “cool” group. For those of us who have craved acceptance from our childhood, this outcome can be very attractive. Being like everyone else brings with it some comfort and sense of belonging, which is a basic human trait. The human life can also offer some tangible and material gains. In our pursuit of the material, we can receive acceptance and respect from others. Being able to channel or meditate does not hold much power in this space, whereas new cars, holidays and status give us entry to those exclusively human groups. Having come in with a soul first personality means we have probably inherited our parents` or grandparents` psychic gifts as the gift is generally pass down the line. You may have some issues with these gifts. Maybe you don’t want to be psychic or “see” pictures in your head. Just because we are born with the gift does not mean we want it. On a relationship level, you may be in a loving partnership in which the soul side of you doesn’t easily fit. Your partner might think all this spiritual stuff is nonsense. So where does that leave you? 

We always have a choice, whether or not we fulfill our purpose on earth. Th e spiritual crisis comes when we literally have to make that choice, and a battle between the human and soul can take place. In my experience, we generally give ourselves a few chances to follow our soul path before the crisis occurs. The spiritual crisis is our way of waking ourselves up. We would have set it up before we arrived on earth, and if we reached a certain point in time and had not begun our journey, we would have set up an opportunity to do so. Our soul path or life mission was decided in the Garden of Remembrance prior to arriving on earth. I shall speak more about the garden in a later chapter.

 Going through a spiritual crisis can be a traumatic time involving emotional turmoil and much angst, as there can be confusion and a sense of being lost. Essentially, we are only coming back to our true selves and returning to our essence. When one resists being a soul person and tries living like a human first, one can create a lot of stress in their life. If you are going through a spiritual crisis the only way out is to recognize what is happening and seek to find your direction and follow your true destiny. During this time remember you have set up this situation to guide you back to yourself. 

 The Human and the Soul 

We are both human and soul living on earth. Our soul is eternal, and we are in human form to learn our lessons. Many of us have spent numerous lives on earth, while some of us have been here only a few times. Some of the young souls visiting the earth at this time are adjusting to life in this dimension. The atmosphere here is very dense in comparison to other dimensions, and it can be a struggle. These souls have come to bring new energies and wisdom to our world. Young souls struggle with how we do things in this dimension. Often they voice frustration when they can see better ways to do the same thing. Having lived in other dimensions, our world seems slow and the way we do things somewhat stupid. Time and again, young souls will question why they are here and what it is it all about. At the same time, old souls have returned to assist and help with the earth changes. 

Old souls are easy to spot, even when they are babes. They have a certain quality about them, a knowing that exudes from them. I think we intuitively know on a deeper level, whether we have been on earth many times before, or whether this visit is a relatively new experience for us. It does not matter whether you are an old or young soul. Every visit you make helps you gather more knowledge and learning. I think old souls seem more settled in the earth’s atmosphere, as it is familiar to them. After centuries of traveling through the world, they accept the way things operate and can flex with all the complexities of earthly life. This acceptance makes it easier for them to cope with the problems that living in this dimension can create.

 Our soul is contained in the human form. Some call it our spirit. It sits in our physical body, flowing out into our aura. The soul is not confined to time and space like our human form. As a human we can’t be in more than one place at a time and our physical body can’t move into another dimension. Time also dictates where we are. For example, we can’t be in the future or the past. However, our soul is not bound by these considerations. It can move out of our physical space and travel through other dimensions. This is a new concept to some people. The reason the soul can move is because it is an energy that can leave the physical body. The physical body is very dense, like a heavy weight, so it can’t move out of the aura. On the other hand, the soul vibrates at a much higher rate. Therefore, it leaves the aura with ease. We know on some level that this happens. For example, sometimes when you meditate or just before you fall asleep you can’t feel your body. It is like you are floating above the body. It’s an unreal feeling. It is then that the soul has lifted out of the aura. The same thing happens when people are in car accidents or suffer trauma. Soldiers or victims of abuse can temporarily leave their physical body until the danger is past. The reason the soul slips out is because it does not want to be damaged.

 Our soul is, in fact, very delicate, and it can be damaged forever. It has to last through the ages, and so we have learned how to protect it in times of need. After the trauma has passed, the soul slides back into the physical body, unscathed and intact. For the most part, we re-enter properly, although sometimes we come back in and don’t get it quite right. This is when people struggle with post-traumatic stress and other problems. It is because the soul is not sitting correctly in the aura. Occasionally, over time, the soul can re-adjust. If not, healing and energy balancing can help the soul body to sit properly once again in the aura. 

 Once we understand how differently the human and soul operate on earth it is easier to understand our own life. So, we work from two perspectives, soul and human. The soul has been our vehicle through time and space, while the human form will only last for about eighty years. In our daily lives, we function from both structures. At times we live very much in the human condition, and other times we operate mostly from the soul. It is important to know that many of us choose to work predominately in one or the other way, either living as a soul in the physical body or as a human with little concern for our soul life. 

Either way is fine, for each of us is on earth to learn various lessons and either vehicle can assist with our learning. I am clearly a soul first kind of person. I run my life through my soul body, and, in a sense, my human nature has less to say. Soul first people follow their gut feelings. They tap into their soul for the answers and are often interested in the esoteric aspect of life. All my decisions have to feel right, even if my human side does not agree. In essence, I follow my heart.

 Human first people think it through logically using the left side of their brain to come to their conclusions, and their gut feelings are not considered so important. They like to live in the more tangible aspects of life and immerse themselves fully into the humanness of life. If they have an important decision to make the head will win over the heart. It is not important whether you run your life as soul or human. Nevertheless, it is important that you recognize how you do it as this awareness will help you to understand your life’s journey. 

 Once you work out your own stance, it becomes easy to see where your family and friends are coming from. By understanding those around us, we begin to make sense of it all. I had struggled with this aspect of life before the “lights went on.” Now I know who is working through the soul body and who is working through the human one, and I can adapt to how I relate to each person. Before, I was trying to relate to everyone not understanding where they were coming from. Th is revelation has made life so much easier. When I am with my soul friends we can talk and share in a soul way, and we talk about our feelings and aspirations. In a sense our souls speak to each other. When I am with my human friends, conversation relates to earthly topics like the family and current events. We can talk about the latest movie or renovating the house, essentially we keep it all very 3D, as I like to call it. Once I could see who was who, and where I stood in the whole thing, life became less confusing. I could just switch when necessary. I did not change myself all the time, but adjusted myself to the particular situation. 

 Life on earth can be challenging, yet once I realized this truth it all became simpler. In addition, we all have an inherent order that we are more comfortable with. For example, I am calm and happy to run my life through the soul part. If I always had to use only my human part, I would begin to feel unbalanced. My best balance is soul, then human. Another person might function best expressing their life from a human perspective, rather than soul. One is no better than the other. It is apples or oranges. It’s all to do with the individual. Do it the best way for you, and let others make their own choices.  In different phases of our life, we will also change the order. Sometimes we need to experience the world in very human terms, while another situation might need a soul first approach. 

 If you decide to be soul first it is important to give balance to your world by incorporating humanness. This could include doing everyday activities and embracing all the human world has to offer. I love to shop for clothes and play around with the material aspects of life, and these things are no less important than meditating. The importance is the balance we can create - mind, body and soul, each supporting the other. Finding out where you fit in will bring clarity to your personal life. It will also bring understanding to your other relationships. Knowing who the oranges are, and who are the apples will be enlightening. One of the greatest gift s in life is when you truly understand yourself and those around you.
